Alibris Reviews Summary
Alibris enjoys a generally positive reputation among customers, particularly for its wide selection of used books at competitive prices and reliable shipping. Many customers appreciate the timely delivery and the ability to track orders, contributing to overall satisfaction. However, concerns arise regarding the variability in book conditions, with some items not meeting expectations, and delays in shipping for urgent needs. Additionally, the separate shipping fees for each book can deter purchases. Despite these issues, the platform remains a favored choice for many due to its extensive inventory and user-friendly website.

This was my first time ordering from this company. My expectations are high for the quality of the items. I hope it meets our expectations.
I received notice that the first one I order by this same title was cancelled and my money is to be refunded. Did not go down as a good experience.
Love buying movies, and books off these folks! Fantastic prices and excellent quality!
Selected and re-entered a password to create an account with Alibris, but was unable to create account. Tried three times.
Item was unavailable; replaceent suggested. Now we wait. If it comes, 5 stars; if not maybe 2?
I always find it easy and convenient to shop here for books, movies, or cds. I like the sorting from low to high prices, the often paragraph-long reviews and comments about exactly what the cd or book contains. And so on. Lately I am finding that alibris beats amazon on prices--for example on John Coltrane cds which I was just shopping for. I'm telling friends to shop here to help stop Bezos from taking over the world.
Now that the post office is back the parcels are arriving in two weeks instead of two months=as long as the discs play on my machine =super great bargains!
Instructions are relatively easy to follow and complete.
Super easy! I did forget that I had a cc loaded for my Alibris account so it surprised me when the order went through so quick! But that's okay!
I was glad to find this site. It was super easy to use and a great alternative to Amazon!
Straightforward and complete descriptions of books- very quick process to get what I was looking for. Great price, even with shipping.
Quick and easy. Enjoyed the description and history about the book.
First time user. Delighted with selection I found. I will share this site with friends.

Website is very easy to use & prices are very reasonable!
Very quick and easy to find what I wanted and check our.
Have had the books I've needed the past few times I've visited. At a cheap price too. Packaging for shipping could be better though. One book came in an open box if it rained i would a been in a mess. Lol
The shopping experience was easy. I look forward to receiving the book and hope it is an important addition to my collection.
Good price, reasonable shipping. Hope it comes fast!
